The Enchanted Chest
The Enchanted Chest | Jean-Francois Chabas
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
Raised by a fisherman from the depths of the sea, an ornate chest soon attracts the attention of the greedy King, always searching for more treasure. But the King has a problem: nothing and nobody can open the chest. A thousand keys, a thousand tools, and a thousand swords were tried. He calls his most talented subjects to open it: the Locksmith, then the Strong Man, the Magician, and even the Alchemist--they all try their skills, and none can do it! Only the Lynx, whose magical eyes allow her to see through anything, can finally satisfy the King's curiosity. The story, like the chest, contains a beautiful and mysterious core for the intrepid reader to open, about how the treasures we crave may not be what we truly desire.

The Illustrations in this book are gorgeous! The details in every page were absolute eye candy. The story itself left much to be desired. I think the biggest problem I have with this #PictureBook is that it ends with a morality question asking the reader whether it's better to believe you have something than to know you don't (with the implied meaning that it is better).
